"Raising Godly Tomatoes"

I love my little girl and am excited about the baby on the way!  My desire is to raise my family with a heart for God and to ultimately see them come to know Jesus as their personal Saviour.  I don't just want my precious girl to outwardly do the right thing when her heart is rebelling.  Eventually that rebellion will manifest itself outward.  My prayer is for her to have a right attitude when she obeys, as well as that she would obey. A friend recently recommended a book to me that caught my attention right away.  The book:  "Raising Godly Tomatoes" by L. Elizabeth Krueger (www.RaisingGodlyTomatoes.com).  I am only part way through this book, but am so appreciative of the time and energy she spent in writing it because it has helped my husband and I already in teaching our little girl to obey...the first time with a good attitude.  I am excited to have some practical direction in raising my family that is all Biblically based.  She has included Scripture for every point she makes and really brings to life these principles.  I highly recommend this book for the Biblical principles she presents and the practical application in raising kids.  It's not an easy task to raise a family.  My husband and I have barely begun, but are excited about our journey.
